2008 Turing Award winner Barbara Liskov speaks to silicon.com about  
her research and hot issues from security to gender gaps.

The winner of the 2008 ACM AM Turing Award for lasting and major  
technical contributions to the computing community was announced last  
month as Barbara Liskov, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of  
Technology (MIT).

The Turing Award, which is named after British mathematician Alan  
Turing, has been awarded by the Association for Computing Machinery  
every year since 1966.

Liskov, who heads up the Programming Methodology Group in the Computer  
Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT - where she has  
conducted research and has been a professor since 1972 - is only the  
second woman to receive the prize. IBM's Fran Allen won the 2006 award.

silicon.com recently spoke to Liskov about her work and current  
research interests, and heard her views on a variety of IT issues -  
from data breaches and cloud computing to the relative lack of women  
in the IT industry.
